First PS5 Devkit Photograph Finds Its Way Online

I'll buy it from ebay in 20 years 😆

V has come to.

That design is interesting, better than boring black box though

-Edit- No! This spacecraft of a Dev kit is real?!

@wiiware to each their own.

but my consoles don't need to look like anything else than the standard box tbh.

maybe just not to big that's all.

does anyone remember when we got the first real look at the ps4?

was that e3 2013?

or did they show it a the reveal event in february? (i did not watch it)

@get2sammyb

Hahaha. Imagine if this was the final design for home use.

Dust magnet!

V for v the final battle aka mini series.best tv show ever.word up son

I actually like the way this devkit looks.

It's so weird, but I like it.

Damn, that is one fugly piece of kit!

@jdv95 Yup, as long the console isn’t too big I’m not too worried about the looks. I want more quiet console though, I don’t have problem with ps4 but my ps4 pro console is a bit too loud when playing some titles like god of war, weirdly usually when I’m opening the map.

If the final consumer product can look nothing like this monstrosity in any aspect, that'd be great, thanks.

@get2sammyb did the leaked images of ps4 dev kit look anything the final product?

That beast is thirsty for air. Look forward to seeing what the final consumer product will look like.

V as in Roman numeral for 5!!

I'll like the shape if the console is more square...like. More practical. The vents are cool.

honestly if this was the retail design i wouldn't mind after all i don't buy a PlayStation to stare at the console

Flat open intake with dust filter you can remove and clean! Better PC cases have had them for quite some time now. That Dev kit ugly but the V for 5 does stand out.

@ellsworth004 nope

God that is so ugly, the vents remind me of a washing basket and the rest of it looks like some dodgy college project. Is this the year of ugly design, look at the three biggest phone company's, iPhone 11 ugly, Pixel Ugly and Huawwi mate 30 omg ugly, come on design tutors you aint doing your job properly, telling your students they are good, what a pile of poop. we want slick, we want chrome, we want slithers of light, lasers etc, things to wow us, most fake mockups are better than the actual products.

@Ed209 this is a devkit and thus not the look of the actuall console.

It doesn't matter how the dev kit looks since we won't be using it.

@FullbringIchigo wow that didnt even look like game console, looks like a....i dont really know what that looks like.

@ellsworth004 i think it looks like a really early DVD player

That'll be perfect for my giant Toblerone addiction.

@jdv95 I agree. I really, really hope this is nothing like the finished product. I can't imagine it would be a 'safe bet' for Sony either.

As much as I want it to look sleek, it would sure be nice if it was ventilated well and didn't sound like an aircraft taking off with certain games.

That is one ugly thing. Why even bother making that ugly shell for a dev kit? A plastic box would suffice since it’s not a saleable product

@Arnna my guess is incase anyone decided to leak photos. But yeah, fingers crossed the finished product won't look like that. Because my hair almost looked like Joan's, standing up in fright, upon first lying eyes on that monstrosity.

@roe the V is the Roman numeral for 5 not for vents 🤣, I’m creased. Excellent idea as it is though. Funniest comment I’ve read in ages. Thank you 🤘🏻

@playstation1995 next it will be claimed the V is for vendetta as a revenge tactic against Microsoft lol. V the t.v show was pretty cool but in no way correlates to PlayStation V/5 😂

@Shigurui I think it looks pretty sweet, better than the PS4 and PS3,2and 1. I really hope it does look like this ‘cause it will be the neatest piece of gaming kit out there. Other than heavily modded gaming PCs which I’m totally not into. About time we had a kick ass console.

@Ed209 oh yee of little faith and great contempt 😂 don’t you like it one little bit? I agree about your take on mobile phones, that’s why I don’t possess one. But this is a neat looking console none the less. I just hope it’s real and not just click bait pictures to get our mouths watering either with anticipation or frothing with rage like yourself, fun times my friend fun times 🙂

If this was the actual design, would it keep any of you from buying it?

I think if they added some clear plastic bits with some glowing under it, it could look damn cool. Like some Tron looking colors and lights.

I don't care about the looks. The console may look like a cheap electrical radiator if it plays the games made by Sony's first party and third party companies. Let's be happy that we are getting a PS5 as it is most likely the last console before streaming takes over entirely. Sadly I hope I'm wrong as that's when I will be done with gaming.

Not too fussed to be honest. How a console looks is so completely irrelevant. As long as it plays games and I can get it in black nothing else really matters. It's an appliance not an art piece.

I like the PSV [what with 5 being V, clever eh). I think Sony have always had interesting looking consoles to be fair, but I don't really care what it looks like as it'll just be sat there chilling under my tv in a unit. As long as it plays HZD 2, Spidey 2 and God Of War 2, it can be neon pink and made of latex for all I care.

@Eldritch hahahahaha yep I don’t want to upset Joan

Looks like a great design in term of thermals. The center might be an intake with the exhaust on the sides and two giant heatsinks on either ends of the V. Could be nearly silent.
